District Level Household Survey, Phase II of Round 2 Under RCH Project, Region 8 (Haryana and Punjab)

Agency : Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India and World Bank

The information collected in the previous round of the the district level household survey was found quite useful to planners, implementers and policy-makers to implement the RCH project. Realising the utility and importance of the district level information on various RCH indicators, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India decided to undertake the second round of DLHS by covering the remaining 50 percent districts in Phase II in the country. DLHS Phase II of Round 2 collected district level data other than service statistics on the accessibility and utilisation of RCH services. DLHS in the second round covered the information on the nutritional aspects of adolescents and pregnant mothers. The information on the weight of children up to the age of 6 years as well as the prevalence of anaemia in adolescent girls and pregnant mothers was collected. Trained personnel in the field took the blood samples of these target groups. Salt testing from each household was also conducted to assess the iodine level. As many as 18 districts of Haryana and Punjab will be covered in Phase II.
